Two and a Third

I just have to say that the new Two and a Half Men is incredibly stupid. It was borderline stupid when Charlie Sheen was on - but we'd had years of his shenanigans to warm to and we were 'used' to it. His off-screen meltdown was handled appropriately (my opinion) with his firing...and I suspect he will self implode eventually.

But Ashton Kuthcher's character is just really dumb. Not likable. Nor plausible. The entire story line is ridiculous.

And it probably doesn't help that he cheated on his wife in real life - so I just plain don't like him.

That's my only observation after a very busy Monday. Tomorrow, I'm heading to Napa for the day with a friend to shop and visit V. Sattui winery which I haven't visited in over 15 years. We are running very low on our V. stash and since the only place you can get the wine is at the winery, I'm really, hugely looking forward to the trip. To heck with the budget! We're buying wine!!

OH - big news! B. got a promotion! He is officially no longer a 'courtesy clerk' - he is now working in the meat department. 20% increase in pay and better hours - he will rarely work past 9PM and only do one or two nights a week. He is very excited and we are very proud of him - he wanted that position and he applied and interviewed and he got it. What a transformation from a kid who begrudged every minute he spent there to the young man who disliked what his job was, saw something else he'd rather do and made it happen. Way to go, B.!!
